Chapter 45 - Wolf Master

Without wasting time Luis released the fireballs aiming to blind the wolf.

The first fireball was on target hitting the wolf on its right eye but it was able to avoid the other one.

"One eye means you can't see better," Luis said.

The right was burnt and was now black while the other one was partially affected by the hit.

The wolf shook its head vigorously trying to open its eye but that wasn't going to happen.

With its eye damaged the beast turned to the person who had caused it.

The wolf snarled at Luis but it was being cautious now and wasn't going to jump on him as he did before.

The wolf was inching closer to him cautiously while Luis was slowly moving backward.

The wolf was a little closer to Luis and attempted its jump again but this time Luis had something prepared.

The wolf jumped up and was about to pounce on him when a large piece of earth flew up towards him knocking him back to where he had started.

"I don't have time for this," Luis said looking at his HP which had dropped to twenty-six.

While the beast was recovering from that attack Luis charged in this time being the aggressor.

When the beast saw him running forward it began to growl.

With the distance between them almost closed the wolf stretched its body attempting to use its claws on Luis.

"You are done."

With the wolf's body raised in the attempt to claw at Luis, Luis slid under the wolf and when he was about to come out behind it he grabbed its tail.

With all his strength he pulled the beast slamming it on the ground.

With the beast on the ground, he released a barrage of fireballs on the thing.

After throwing about twelve fireballs at the beast he was huffing and panting.

Pulling that wolf by the tail was a really heavy job to do, Luis didn't think he could do it, even with the extra energy he had consumed but there was one way.

Running towards the wolf Luis had assigned all his extra three points into strength.

[ +4 stat points has been added to strength ]

[ Strength: 21 ]

This was the reason Luis had been able to pull the wolf.

Huffing and panting Luis looked at the wolf which was no longer moving.

He didn't need his system to tell him the wolf was dead, his aura vision was active and he could see that the mixed aura of red and blue around the wolf had been extinguished.

His system had notified him of the beast's death but he didn't have time to look at it because another message had come in after that.

[ Quest failure: 50% ]

Ella was pulling herself up the hill while facing the wolves which were coming close to her.

Her leg was bleeding with a claw mark on it, due to the wound she couldn't get up and was just pushing herself up the hill.

While pulling herself up she hadn't noticed a large rock which she had run into now and couldn't move any further making her easy prey for the wolves.

'Why didn't I use it when I had the chance?' She thought.

All three wolves jumped towards Ella at once, like they were fighting over the meal.

Ella covered her face wondering why she had come here in the first place.

But as the wolves were about to pounce on her a large wall started to rise in front of Ella, the wolves smashed into the wall and rolled down the hill a little bit before regaining their balance.

"Did somebody follow us?" Ella said looking at the large earth wall which was beginning to fall now and standing in front of her was with fireballs forming in both of his hands.

[ 0/50 Earth ability points ]

'Crap I never thought doing something like that would use the whole thing up.'

Earlier Luis had received the message telling him that his quest was about to fail.

He looked towards the hill to see Ella struggling up the hill with the wolves inching closer to her.

'How do I get her out of that situation without showing her my powers?'

Luis was trying to come up with something, he was still keen on not letting Ella know her secret, that was until Ella stopped moving with her back against a large rock.

'No secret is worth someone's life.'

He had run to the scene just in time to block the wolves with his earth wall.

"Luis?" Ella said, she rubbed her eyes with the back of her palm just to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

Ignoring Ella Luis faced the wolves which were cautiously making their way up.

"I will roast all of you if you get close." He said throwing a fireball which landed in front of the wolf in the center causing it to jump back.

One of the wolves didn't listen and decided to attack Luis head-on, but while it was a few feet up Luis shot it with a fireball, which sent the creature rolling down the hill.

"I'm not scared of any of you, I'll kill you all just like I did to that one!" Luis yelled pointing at the wolf which he had killed earlier.

The wolves followed his hand and with their great sight, they were able to see the dead wolf on the ground.

Their next action was what shocked Luis as both of the wolves which were still there now lay on the floor while making small howls.

'What are they doing?'

[ You have defeated the alpha wolf ]

[ For defeating their leader the wolves are now loyal to you, you get to decide their fate]

'Alpha wolf?'

Now looking at the wolves standing in front of him he could see that they were small compared to the one he had fought first.

While Luis was still in his thoughts the third wolf climbed up and joined its siblings on the floor.

"What are they doing?" Ella asked, confused by the strange display of the wolves.

"I think they are surrendering."

"Why would they do that when they clearly outnumber us?"

"I think it's because I killed their leader."

"You killed the other wolf?"

Luis nodded and then turned his attention back to the wolves which were still on the floor.

'Are they just going to stay there until I say something to them?' Luis wondered.

He really wished he could read their mind now but his mind read wasn't walking on them.

[ Decide the date of the wolves ]

[ Become their master/ Set them free ]

'Why is killing them not an option? Does that mean they'll turn on me if I try to do that?' Thinking about that Luis didn't want to try that, he wasn't sure he would be able to take them on the way he was now.

'Setting them free means they may attack anybody who comes near here.'

[ You are now the wolves master ]

[ They are now loyal to you and will follow your orders ]

Luis still needed to reach the top of the hill which was why he had come up with a way to use the wolves.

"Go down and make sure nothing gets near this hill."

The wolves quickly got up and ran down, Luis shook his head surprised by the things his system could do.

[ Quest Complete ]

Luis wanted to look at the price for his quest but now wouldn't be the time as he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.

"I was right."
